1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: It is the ninth of July one and eighteen days 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: until the US presidential election, forty one until the Democratic 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: National Convention, and President Biden has drawn a line in 4 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: the sand with his donors. What he's told them is 5 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 1: the debate is over, no more talking about it. But 6 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: these people don't seem to be on the program. This 7 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: was the scene from a White House briefing, gone completely 8 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 1: off of the rails. Let's watch. It's a very basic 9 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: direct question. 10 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 2: Wait wait, wait, wait a second, wait. 11 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: Times, or at least once in regards. 12 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 2: To I, just at least hold on a second to answer. 13 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: By this point. 14 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 2: Wait no, no, no, no, no, no, no, wait a minute, ed, 15 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 2: Please a little respect here, please, There's no reason to 16 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 2: get back and go back and forth with me in 17 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 2: this aggressive way, myth. 18 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: The polling for President Biden continues to deteriorate, and since 19 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: the debate there are four more states in play that 20 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: were not before it. Democrats remain panicked, more Democrats have defected, 21 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: yet others have affirmed their support for the Biden Harris ticket. 22 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 1: What is happening behind the scenes is completely opaque. No 23 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: one has any true idea, but everybody seems to know 24 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump's victory. Harold's a national catastrophe of epic proportions. 25 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is surrounded by whack jobs, losers, extremists, and weirdos. 26 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: One of them is Cash Ptel. He was temporarily at 27 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: the highest levels of American power over at the Department 28 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: of Defense. This is a person who Donald Trump trusted 29 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: with the nation's secrets. And here he is promising, well, 30 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: there'll be a knock on my door in the middle 31 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: of the night, and many others. I wonder where we'll 32 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: be taken. Soon, Donald Trump will be making his selection 33 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: for vice president. Remember he tried to hang the last 34 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: one who won't support him in his twenty twenty four 35 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 1: cause to bring fascism to America. But there are plenty 36 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: of other supplicants and aspirants. One of them is just 37 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: turned forty year old JD. Vance, the author of Hillbilly Elogy, 38 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: The Story of the White working Class in twenty first 39 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: century America. JD. Vance is a fascist who ran a 40 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: fake opiate charity. Jd Vance has talked down the country, 41 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: has talked down the state. He's called for an American caesar, 42 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: the end of American democracy with Devance considered the plate 43 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: of beaten women abused by their husbands. He said, the 44 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: thing you have to look at is what did they 45 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 1: do to deserve it? True story. Should he become the 46 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: vice presidential nominee, he will be, to say the least, 47 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: a target rich environment. JD. Vance is unfit for the 48 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: vice presidentcy at a very deep level. He's unfit for 49 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: national leadership, which is probably why Donald Trump is so 50 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: attracted to him. And yet this ticket, this team of 51 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: Trump and whomever, is winning, it's leading. When is the 52 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: last day that anybody, and I mean anybody in the 53 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: Democratic Party cocked back and threw a punch at Maga 54 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: or Donald Trump that connected. They are just not on offense. 55 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: They are flat on their backs. Supine President has made 56 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: a claim. What he said is I am the best 57 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: and strongest person in America to defeat Donald Trump. I 58 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: worry that the American people look at this and they 59 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: think Joe Biden is a November problem and Donald Trump 60 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: is a January one. I hope that's not the case, 61 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: because Donald Trump's return to power is a harbinger of 62 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: terrible events, not just here at home, but around the world. 63 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: There will be years of chaos, and the chaos has 64 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: a reciprocal effect on the opposition. It radicalizes it. Does 65 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: anybody not believe that all of these years of Trump 66 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: have not had an effect on Trump's opposition, that the 67 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: cancer that is MAGA has not shed a few cancer 68 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: cells and infected the opposition. Trump feeds on cynicism, He 69 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: feeds on dishonesty. He thrives in absurdity and in squalid ludicrousness. 70 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is like Godzilla. Nuclear power kills most monsters, 71 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: but Godzilla ate it, drank it. You made Godzilla stronger. 72 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: And such is the case with Trump. What would kill 73 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: a normal politician off simply has made Donald Trump strong. 74 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: I have a serious question for the Biden high command. 75 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: What is your plan to get past this, through this, 76 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,679 Speaker 1: out from under it? How do you propose to move 77 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: forward a foot in the next three days? The truth 78 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: is there is none except for an embrace of an 79 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: ego that leads to an inevitable loss. James Carville knows 80 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: what he's talking about. He says President Biden will lose 81 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: this election. David Axelrod knows what he's talking about. David 82 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 1: Axelrod has said President Biden will lose this election. Karl 83 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: Rove knows what he's talking about, and Karl Rove has 84 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: said there are cheers in Marie Lago about the President's defiance. 85 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: There is a difference between the cancer and the lameness 86 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: of the cure of the treatment. The cancer is the threat, 87 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: not the ineffectiveness of the cure. The cancer is what 88 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: will kill, not the medicine that doesn't work. This is 89 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: important to understand because there is a manifest difference between 90 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: Trump and Biden, even though nobody around Joe Biden can't 91 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: articulate it. Donald Trump hates his country. That's why he 92 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: disrespects it. It's why he has slandered America's greatest heroes 93 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: and martyrs who died, who gave the last full measure 94 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: of devotion, because it doesn't compute for a malignant narcissist 95 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: like Trump, who has never sacrificed anything for anyone, has never, 96 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 1: not for a second ever, put anyone ahead of self. 97 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: President Biden is lost right now, but we are not lost. 98 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: The threat is bearing down The President Biden cannot see it. 99 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: We can, and the threat is not President Biden. He's 100 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: just an ineffective cure. The threat is Donald Trump, and 101 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: he must be stopped. There are forty one days to 102 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: the Democratic Now National Convention, and no matter what, one 103 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: hundred and eighteen days from now, Donald Trump must be stopped, 104 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: full stop. It's all that matters. It's all that matters, 105 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: because what Donald Trump has said, what he's promised, is 106 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: America doesn't make it for four more years. No, this 107 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: cannot happen, and we must not let it. This is 108 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt.
